Title: Apparently Clouds Have the Most Orgone Energy: film treated with what is believed to be Orgone Energy
Duration: 1:35
Year: 2010
Description: 16mm film stock that was copulated upon, unrolled in the darkness of the forest at night, shot with images of clouds then processed. All of these rituals were done in order to treat the film with what is believed to be Orgone Energy: a bioenergetic force that lies behind and causes observable phenomena, according to the writings of the psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich.
